The heart of a man pumps $5 \, \text{litres}$ of blood through the arteries per minute at a pressure of $150 \, \text{mm}$ of mercury. If the density of mercury is $13.6 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3$ and $g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2$, then the power (in $\text{watt}$) is:

An air bubble of volume $1\,cm^3$ rises from the bottom of a lake $40\,m$ deep to the surface at a temperature of $12^{\circ}C$. The atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^5\,Pa$,the density of water is $1000\,kg/m^3$,and $g = 10\,m/s^2$. There is no difference in the temperature of water at the depth of $40\,m$ and on the surface. The volume of the air bubble when it reaches the surface will be $..........\,cm^3$. (in $,cm^3$)
